Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, we received a package from the NWT Council for Disabled Persons. In this package are many letters. The one that I reviewed struck me as very similar to what a parent is going through in Inuvik.

Mr. Speaker, this parent, Mrs. Geri Sharpe-Staples, has taken her concerns to the people. She put a petition out and asked the people of Inuvik to sign it. Mr. Speaker, 622 people signed the petition. The petition asks the government to support them with resources, resources that would see an education psychologist, a speech therapist and more training for program assistance in Inuvik.

I hope this government will take this request seriously as I table this petition later today. I look forward to the response they will bring forward. Hopefully, it will be a timely one. In light of all the news of extra spending happening here in the Northwest Territories by this government, I am sure they can find some of those resources to ensure that parents and children in the Inuvik region have the proper resources to ensure they can take advantage of our education system. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
